Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #626 (2005) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God, and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.
2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle every high desire,
perish self in your pure fire.
3 Holy Spirit, power divine,
fill and nerve this will of mine;
by you may I strongly live,
bravely bear, and nobly strive.
4 Holy Spirit, right divine,
King within my conscience reign;
be my law, and I shall be
firmly bound, for ever free.
5 Holy Spirit, peace divine,
still this restless soul of mine;
speak to calm this tossing sea,
stayed in your tranquillity.
6 Holy Spirit, joy divine,
gladden now this heart of mine;
in the desert ways I sing.
